Yes! The book assumes prior programming experience in _something_ (which includes Python:-) With a good Python background the first chapter should be an easy skim. Python 3-specific material starts in chapter 2, particularly the coverage of Unicode and str.format(). Python 3 isn't a revolution, so an awful lot will be familiar, but everything is done from a Python 3 point of view, so there's no mixing of Python 2 and Python 3 styles. And from chapter 6 onwards, particularly chapter 8, will surely have some things you haven't tried or considered before... And given the price, it has got to be worth a go;-) > > 2009/5/6 Mark Summerfield <l...@qtrac.plus.com> > > > Hi, > > > > I've just noticed that amazon.co.uk are now charging just 15.94 GBP for > > _Programming in Python 3_.
